Please reduce the load time of the Logos desktop app for PC. Its boot time currently exceeds the combined startup duration of Visual Studio and Adobe Photoshop.
What sort of startup time are you seeing?
21 seconds
@Graham Criddle
Logos PC: After a reboot, the first launch, 21 seconds. Subsequent launches, 5 seconds.
Logos Web: Open Microsoft Edge and load Logos Web bible, 5 seconds.
Visual Studio 2026: Open VS and load a project, 7 seconds
Adobe Photoshop 2026: Open PS and load an image, 8 seconds
Intel Core i7-1355U, 32GB RAM, 1GB SSD, Windows 11 25H2
@Graham Criddle just wondering, how long does Logos take to load the first time after a reboot on your computer?
Hi @HeIsWithUs
just wondering, how long does Logos take to load the first time after a reboot on your computer?
I've just checked this and, according to the Logos log, it took 17.5 seconds
2025-11-08 20:24:22.2795 INFO 2 StartupUtility | Finished startup at 17.47s.
Looking at the log activity, there are some things that take a significant part of those 17.5 seconds, such as:
2025-11-08 20:24:14.1994 INFO 13 SyncManager
Starting sync manager thread.
2025-11-08 20:24:14.2003 INFO 13 StartupUtility
(1891ms) Startup step: StartPostSetFactoryServicesWork
2025-11-08 20:24:14.2013 INFO 33 SyncManager
Sync manager thread started.
But most of it is because Logos is starting a lot of processes, connecting to databases, etc.
For me, this amount of startup time does not cause any problems - it is rare I reboot my computer or restart Logos apart from for testing purposes - but I understand for others this may be a problem.
Microsoft Word opens in 1 second.
Sure - but is doing a lot less in the background.
Microsoft Windows 11 from off to login in 20 seconds.
You need to compare to a comparable program in terms of functionality and to acknowledge the degree of control the user has over load time in Logos, For example, in Logos what is the difference in load time if you open to a blank page vs. loading to a complex layout with several complex filters defined against the entire Bible? I agree that it would be nice to have Logos load faster but there are outstanding bugs, incomplete features, and additional features I would give higher priority to.

Every time I open a new book, I have to open View > Zoom and click 5 times to "➕" button to adjust text size suitable to my eyes. Everything else (menus etc) in Logos Bible Study app works fine with 100% (Program Zoom and Content Zoom), but TEXT in Books themselves look good when 180%, and it is possible to adjust it now…
It would be nice if your store's filter options for “Ownership Status” included a separate button for “you have temporary access."
I’m a power user of Logos and rely on keyboard-driven workflows for fast, focused Bible study. The current fixed keyboard shortcuts are limited and unintuitive for my setup, which forces me to use the mouse frequently and leads to accidental triggering of the wrong commands. Please add a customizable keyboard-shortcut…
I would like to be able to add tables to sermon documents and when upload my sermon documents the pictures and tables will be added to the sermon materials.
Would it be hard to display filter categories in bold? These categories appear in a few places, like in: Sermon Manager Notes The filters would become much more user friendly if the category headings would be in bold.
